PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-99-42 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF JACK CHESTNUT FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND DESIGN REVIEW APPROVALS, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-98-76/Z-98-3ll WHEREAS, Jack Chestnut has applied for (1) administrative design review approval to construct two, one-story additions totaling approximately 260 square feet to an existing, approximately 413-square-foot, detached accessory structure (resulting in a total area of approximately 673 square feet) located adjacent to the eastern side yard of the property at 4128 Stanley Boulevard, and (2) conditional use permit approval to establish a second unit within the same detached structure; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is R-I-20,OOO District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of June 23, 1999, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore, no environmental document was prepared for this project; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: A. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The request to establish a detached secondary unit on the site conforms with the objectives and purposes ofthe zoning ordinance. A secondary unit is considered to be a single-family use which is allowed in the R-I-20,000 District. The proposal would maintain the existing single-family character because the secondary unit has been designed to integrate with the existing dwelling. In addition, a recommended condition of approval -- standard for all secondary units in the City -- requires that either the primary residence or the secondary unit be owner-occupied and that a maximum of two adu1ts shall be allowed to reside in the secondary unit (plus any children) to maintain a low density and traffic volume for the neighborhood.
